Instructions
Place all ingredients in jars.
Add cold water to almost fill the jars. You need enough shaking room.
Put on the lid and then the ring.
Make sure it is nice and tight.
Jars of pickles are to be left out for 2-3 days because you must shake them 2-3 times a day. We leave ours on a table in the basement, or when making a small batch we leave them on the counter.
After the 2nd or 3rd day place them in the fridge, or if your basement is cold enough, place them there.
